Menu Planning for October 30, 2011~November 6,2011

[MaMere]

Followed last weeks plan pretty much, the meal planning really helps with budget, and using ingredients up that are in home...
Sunday ~ Cheeseburgers on the grill with homemade Fries
Monday ~ Making a Chicken Sour Cream Casserole for FIL, so will make one for us too, will add in some white rice I have in the freezer (from chinese takeout) and fried green beans.
Tuesday ~ Thinking spaghetti, with meatballs. Both the Sauce, and the meatballs are premade, OAMC, so easy dinner
Wednesday ~ Chicken Salad Sammies. If I have time I will make the bread from scratch.
Thursday ~ Brekkie for dinner. Kittens Christmas Pancakes, that are out of this world good, sausages and eggs over easy for hubby.
Friday ~ Pizza, either take out, or homemade
Saturday ~ date night!
Sunday ~ Fire up the Grill!

This weeks treats will be a Gingerbread cake for FIL, along with some Peanut Butter No Bakes and Homemade Applesauce.

Snacks for Hubby and I this week: Making Yogurt today so that, paired with Homemade granola.
Have some gouda in the house, so can snack on that paired with apples too.
They Boys will be getting Homemade Pupcakes, made with shredded carrots!

I think she's going to be spinning in circles while they back in delight (she usually does that when she's very excited). Thank you so much! I was struggling to find something I thought would be perfect for her and this sounds like it will be.

I finalized mine Friday, but have to make major adjustments; Both my ladies have changed and they just got a hold of me last night as their schedules. Me, it looks like I have some wierd work hours, so I have to go back and change up a few things.
